Create socks proxy server

Socks proxy are the simplest form of proxy to hide the IP address. Even though it is not as secure and anonymous as VPN, it serves the purpose of hiding the IP address quickly without much configuration.

We can find many freely available socks proxies. Most of them are highly insecure and overloaded.

If you have a spare VPS/ box which is connected to internet, we can create our own secure socks proxies.

This is an handy guide for those who like to create their own socks proxy server.
